Leading platform Procureship enhances industry efficiency, integrating Achilles ESG scores for smarter, sustainable buying.

Underscoring the growing importance of digital platforms in maritime operations, leading e-procurement provider Procureship has significantly boosted its offering through a new partnership, further enabling efficiency and transparency for the shipping industry. Procureship, already simplifying purchasing for over 100 fleet owners like BW LNG, Angelicoussis Group, and Oldendorff Carriers using advanced analytics and ML tools, has now integrated ESG vetting capabilities through a long-term agreement with supply chain risk expert Achilles.

This move directly addresses the industry’s need for greater visibility into supplier sustainability. By leveraging the Achilles Maritime Network – a collaboration hub for major players like BW LNG, Odfjell, and Seapeak focused on risk reduction and transparency – Procureship brings robust ESG assessment data directly into the daily procurement workflow.

How Procureship Enhances Industry Procurement:

• Streamlined ESG Integration: Buyers using the Procureship platform can now seamlessly access Achilles’ supplier sustainability performance data.
• Enhanced Supplier Visibility: Suppliers can gain an edge by showcasing their independently verified Achilles Sustainability Score directly on their Procureship profiles, in search results, and during quote evaluations.
• Informed, Efficient Decisions: This integration allows maritime purchasers using Procureship to easily factor ESG criteria into their decisions, sourcing products from companies that meet their standards with greater confidence and efficiency, reinforcing trust across the supply chain.

“Procureship identified the need for an ESG module to complement our existing marketplace services,” stated Grigoris Lamprou, Co-Founder and CEO of Procureship, highlighting the platform’s responsiveness to client needs and the value gained via Achilles’ expertise.

Paul Stanley, CEO of Achilles, added that the goal is a “streamlined purchasing process that improves visibility, drives ESG metrics and increases process efficiency” for shipping procurement professionals, reinforcing how platforms like Procureship facilitate this through integrated data. This partnership exemplifies how digital procurement platforms are becoming indispensable tools for driving not just efficiency, but also responsible and sustainable practices within the maritime sector.
